Well, we drawed up bad in Nashville
Pueblo was way too far away
So me and the boys just stayed in Jacksonville to watch the show
I just won me a first in Ashland and I was feeling pretty flush
When Dobro found him this chick named Okie Jo
We all wandered in this joint they call the Zodiac
Know what I mean? Drank some beer and shoot a game of pool
Noticed right away they wasn't used to cowboys
There wasn't no spittoon
Makes it kinda tough on us at Dip and Chew
Well, Beaver'd asked his wormy little cat that run the place
Could he rustle us a coffee can or two
And he said, "Son, there ain't no coffee cans in here
We throw them things away"
Danny said, "Boys, here's a stack of paper cups that'll do"
Well, it's getting close to midnight and we're having lots of fun
We're shooting pool and drinking tubs of beer
Okie Jo's getting drunk and she started showing off
We was glad we drawed up bad and stayed down here
ย
Then through the door walked Genghis Khan
This dude is eight foot tall and coulda
Held the state of Texas in his hand
Okie Jo looked like a bolt of lightning hit her where she lived
She turned around and she said, "Dobro, son, that's my old man"
Now Dobro did everything he knew to look like he was gone
But that dude kept walking right on across the floor
Dobro ain't no dummy, he fixed the boy a drink
He stuck out his hand, he said, "Welcome and just come on in, son"
Well, that big ol' boy took one big
Gulp and he looked like he was shot
And this bunch of cowboys grabbed us a batch and gone
When we slowed down long enough to laugh and figure things all out
Friends and neighbors, that boy Dobro
Had poured them cups all into one
ย
Somewhere down in Jacksonville is a chick named Okie Jo
And she lives with a big ol' dude that still can't believe we got away
And you're looking at a bunch of cowboys
That ain't likely to forget the night the Copenhagen saved the day
